In Stravinsky’s Orbit puts the composer in his rightful place, both literally and metaphorically—not by downplaying his creative achievements, but by mapping the glittering constellation of Russian émigré artists who took up residence in interwar Paris. Klára Móricz is a deft guide to this milieu, helping us to see musical modernism in a new light."––Philip Ross Bullock, University of Oxford "A tour de force. Klára Móricz’s impressive book offers an innovative rehearing of Russian emigré composers in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. By shedding new light on Vladimir Dukelsky (Vernon Duke), Sergey Prokofiev, Arthur Lourié, and Nicolas Nabokov alongside Igor Stravinsky—their powerful gravitational center—Móricz makes an important contribution to studies of exile, nostalgia, neoclassicism, and modernism."––Peter J. Schmelz, Arizona State University
